--- Comment #18 from thomas.bock...@gmail.com --- I should definitely give it a try some time. I guess what I'm saying, though, is that I'm pretty sure it would need a lot of intervention by me (at least at the beginning) in order to accomplish much with this particular project. The reduction I submitted here is in no way simply a trimming of the syntax tree; I had to write shims, instantiate various templates, and mixin strings by hand in order to get the ball rolling. The original code also compiles very slowly, as well, which would make a blind guess-and-check process rather painful until it got far enough along to eliminate the part that causes the slow compilation. --
